For many people the changing of seasons from summer to winter can be a great excuse for a little wardrobe revamp...bring on the cosy clothes! Lighthouse Clothing would love you to share your favourite pieces from their site, as well as telling us a special memory you have of the outdoors.

Here’s what Lighthouse Clothing has to say: “Lighthouse Clothing is a purpose led brand, committed to creating well crafted clothing with a strong sense of style. Our coastal leisurewear collections give a strong nod to the nautical, as we celebrate our love for the coast and simple island living.

^Based in Belfast and born from the philosophy that the most memorable moments in life are often the simplest ones. We encourage the wanderer and sea lover in us all to step outside and embrace those unhurried moments, shared with those who matter.
Our design team research everything from new materials to trending styles. New fabrics are tested and developed to improve style and function. Each design is refined, each colour palette is considered and in the end when each garment has been perfected, it is added to our collection.”^

Which items do you love the look of and why? Take a look at their website and post the link of your favourites on the thread below.

We would also love you to share a special memory and/or moment you experienced in the outdoors. Did you have a special first date strolling along the beach? Perhaps you and your family had a great day out exploring the outdoors? Or maybe it’s simply that you have great memories of going for a walk on your own to help you relax?

Whichever your favourite items are, post them on the thread below and tell us a special outdoor memory and you’ll be entered into a prize draw where two MNers will win a £150 Lighthouse voucher and one MNer will win a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck!

I love this coat, as it is stylish, yet practical for doing the school run in all weathers.

One of my favourite outdoor memories was enjoying a lovely country walk with my husband while our children were with grandparents.

It was lovely enjoying each other's company and chatting, without the distraction of the TV/our mobile phones.

We walked for hours, and it was just bliss, even though it poured with rain! Stumbling upon a lovely, cosy little country pub and having a pint and some food was the perfect end to a perfect day Smile

I love this Anna Dress Smile this is perfect for casual day to day wear and can be dressed up with a nice pair of boots.

We are an outdoor family and enjoy long strolls in the woods and national trust parks, every weekend we explore and create more memories

Wow I have never heard of Lighthouse clothing before this thread and I am loving the look of the waterproof coats.
My favourite is this parka in plum which would be perfect for the school run followed by dog walking.

My favourite outdoor memories are flying a kite on the beach with my children or watching my lively working cocker go mad chasing bubbles in the garden with the children.

The Harper ciat in plum: www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/products/harper-waterproof-fleece-lined-coat-plum

Some of my happiest outdoor memories are of walking through the beautiful local ravine with my dogs and boyfriend, especially pleasant in autumn.

JemIsMyNameNooneElseIsTheSame · 24/09/2018 10:18

This looks perfect for the school run...

Me and dh were staying in an ancient b&b in the lake district (close to Bassenthwaite lake). We decided to go out for a moonlit stroll. As we passed a five bar gate we noticed a pogo stick propped up against the post. I was pregnant so didn't dare try but dh couldn't resist and happily jumped on. He was giving it his all. Suddenly a voice shouts "are you ok there mate?!" There was a man walking his dog further up and as I'm sitting down on a rock and out of sight it just looked to this old fella that he saw a middle aged speccy bloke having a rare old time by himself on a childs toy. Dh tried letting the fella know he wasn't alone but I just kept quiet. Grin I love this. www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/raven-warm-fleece-lined-waterproof-coat-black

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-new-in/products/raven-waterproof-breathable-warm-low-hip-jacket-urban-grey just love this coat - ive always wanted parka style coat but always looked too long on my petite body ! So this looks a good fit :-) my favourite memory was on the beach with my kids , my son discovered a starfish - he was so fascinated by it and kept it in water in hus bucket and wanted to take it home to keep it a pet !! After long chat explaining it needs to live in the sea ..he eventually released back to sea with tears . We got alot of cuddles all round afterwards :-)

KittenCamile · 24/09/2018 20:55

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/anna-cotton-dress-washed-denim Looks effortless but also comfy, plus everyone’s dream pockets! A proper autumn dress that could be layered and take you through winter too. My brightest outdoor memory is learning to surf in Portugal, I slept in a tent in an orange grove all week and woke when the sun came up, surfed all day and finished my days sat watching the sun go down through the trees. Absolute bliss

namastayinbed · 25/09/2018 06:45

This coat would be perfect - I've been looking for one like it that isn't khaki coloured for years!

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/harper-waterproof-fleece-lined-coat-urban-grey

I grew up in the countryside and all my childhood memories involve mud, trees and fields. We used to love chasing hot air balloons when they came into land in a field nearby.

chorusline79 · 25/09/2018 11:54

I am loving the Harper coat in plum - lovely colour for autumn and looks like a nice warm jacket for the school run!

chorusline79 · 25/09/2018 11:56

Oops sorry forgot to say my favourite outdoor moment was when my husband proposed by a lake in Yellowstone Park, such a beautiful setting and great memories!

Elliejojo · 25/09/2018 13:37

I have so many great memories outdoors!
One of my favourites are seeing my 2 girls wave jumping for hours in the sea. They were just so happy!!

my eldest would love this, the colours, pink one would suit her and the pockets are a cute and pratical addition!

I always fancied a yellow waterproof jacket.

Outdoor memory - as a teenager, going for a night time row with a boy I was keen on, in a secluded bay with the stars above and the water full of bioluminescent plankton, glittering all around us.

This is pretty and a decent price.

I love the outdoors in general and moved house so I could live where I do now. Next to a forest. I take my dogs most days, when we're not in the forest we are by a reservoir.

I would love this coat, simply fabulous.

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-raincoats-jackets/products/raven-warm-fleece-lined-waterproof-coat-plum

This winter jacket looks lovely too
💛💚💙💜

My best outdoor memory is climbing Ben Nevis with my family one drab and grey day only for the clouds to literally part offering up the wonderful view of the valley with sun beams streaking across the sky turning the mountains to gold.

Was an inspiring and precious moment!

cathwarbur · 25/09/2018 22:10

Would love to wear this on my morning country walks...Florence Coat - Grey. My favourite time outdoors is the local schools bonfire in November when it is also my birthday, Love the heat of the fire, toffee apples & sparklers!

RubbishG3nericUsername · 25/09/2018 22:43

I love this dress www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-clothing/products/annabelle-cotton-jersey-dress-scarlet-stripe a timeless clasaic, perfect for the sharper autumnal weather. My favourite outdoor memomory (aside from our engagement under the stars on a beach) would be the pure joy on our daughters face when taking her conker hunting in the beautiful grounds of Blenheim palace on a cold but sunny autumn day. We're about to make our first conker trip of this year there this weekend and I cannot wait!

BraayTigger · 25/09/2018 22:48

This: www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/girls-dresses-tops/products/belle-jersey-long-sleeve-dress-blue-stripe
For my DD
Love all the contrast colour pops and the neckline looks smart.
Can imagine my Dd loving this, paired with thick tights and little leather boots.
Really lovely clothes, new brand to follow!

Favourite outdoors memory is hiking in Norway, viewing the Fjords. Absolutely breathtaking.

I love this- it looks so cat and warm and the colour is beautiful. Being 100% cotton is also good as I am not a fan of how polyester feels.

My favourite outdoor memory is last winter when my little boy experienced snow for the first time. He was wrapped up like the Michelin man and running round throwing himself in the snow. It was lovely to watch.

Someaddedsugar · 26/09/2018 10:21

I love this Annabelle cotton dress which would be great with trainers and a wax jacket or leggings and boots for dog walks with my partner and our DS.

My favourite outdoor memory is the first walk with as a family after bringing DS home - our dog was a star and grasped walking next to the park quickly without too much tripping over his lead, and we managed to get some quality time out of the house on a sunny October day. We even managed to sneak in a quick pub lunch as DS was napping!
